The SPHEREx Image and Spectrophotometry Processing Pipeline
Rachel Akeson, Gregory P. Dubois-Felsmann, Brendan P. Crill +41
In this paper, we describe the SPHEREx image and spectrophotometry data processing pipeline, an infrastructure and software system designed to produce calibrated spectral images an…
SPHEREx mapping of diffuse PAH and H II emission in the Galactic plane
Giulia Murgia, Ari J. Cukierman, Brandon S. Hensley +29
We present preliminary SPHEREx maps of diffuse Galactic emission tracing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and ionized hydrogen gas, and we study their relationship across th…
Spectral response of SPHEREx
Howard Hui, Jamie Bock, Samuel Condon +31
The Spectro Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) is conducting the first all-sky near infrared spectral survey spanning 0.…
Spectral Map Making with SPHEREx
Ari J. Cukierman, Shuang-Shuang Chen, Jae Hwan Kang +25
We present map-making methodologies and preliminary spectral data cubes for SPHEREx, a NASA Explorer mission that launched in March 2025 and has been performing an all-sky near-inf…
The SPHEREx Ices Investigation: An Overview
Gary J. Melnick, Joseph L. Hora, Matthew L. N. Ashby +26
SPHEREx is a NASA mission designed to perform an all-sky spectroscopic survey in the 0.75 - 5 m wavelength range. Its primary science objectives are to investigate: (1) inflati…
SPHEREx Pre-Perihelion Mapping of , , and in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
Carey M. Lisse, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Brendan P. Crill +35
From 01- to 15-Aug-2025UT, the SPHEREx spacecraft observed interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. Using spectrophotometry at m, light curves, spectra, and imaging…
